Prepper radar
The latest from the prepper world
Get ready for when everything fails.
Supplies, gear, skills and guides so you and your family can be self-reliant: from the 72 hours authorities ask for to weeks on your own. No alarmism, real figures, and it works offline.
01 Supplies
Water and food for as many days as you need
Work out what your home needs with official figures (pets included), buy food that keeps without a fridge and keep track of expiry dates.
02 Gear
Gear by level, from 72 hours to months
Start with the basics and add more once you have them. Tick what you already have and you'll see what's missing.
03 Know-how
Skills that don't depend on a battery
First aid, fire, shelter, knots, navigation and signals, step by step, with illustrations that work offline.
04 Emergencies
What to do when it happens
Clear guides for before, during and after. Print them or keep them on your phone: they work offline.
Works when nothing else does
After your first visit, everything works offline. In a blackout, blackout mode turns the screen black and removes animations so the battery lasts longer.

Supply calculator
Tell us who lives at home, how many days you want to cover and any allergies, intolerances or special diets. We work out the water (drinking, cooking and basic hygiene), a shopping list with real weights and the other supplies. Every figure has a source: where the numbers come from.

Keep in mind
Estimates per person per day: 2,200 kcal per adult, 1,900 per person over 65, 1,800 per child aged 7 to 13 and 1,300 for ages 3 to 6; babies are counted separately. These are the planning figures of Germany's BLE and the D-A-CH reference values (sources). Adjust them to your health and activity, and check with your doctor if someone is on a prescribed diet. Buy a little at a time, not all at once.
Pantry: what to buy
Specific products from any supermarket that keep for months or years unopened without a fridge. You don't need special survival food: buy what you already eat, in these formats, and rotate it. The calculator gives you the quantities.
My shopping list
Tap "Add to list" on the products you want to buy.
Shelf life is a guide for unopened packs kept somewhere cool, dry and dark: the date and instructions on the label always come first. Source on dates: AESAN.
Inventory and expiry dates
Write down what you already have stored. We tell you how much you're missing compared with the calculator and what expires soon so you eat it and replace it. It's only saved on this device.

Morse code
To call for help or communicate without a voice or signal: with a flashlight, a whistle, knocks or your phone screen. Works offline.
SOS is sent run together, with no gap between letters, and repeats. With "Light", the whole screen flashes (at most 2.5 times per second): tap it or press Esc to stop. If you or anyone nearby has photosensitive epilepsy, use sound or vibration. It drains the battery: use it when someone can see you.
Dots and dashes; one space between letters and "/" between words.
Timing
- · dot = 1 unit
- — dash = 3 units
- between signals in a letter = 1
- between letters = 3
- between words = 7
Chart
International Morse code (ITU-R M.1677-1), plus the Ñ used in Spanish. Tap a letter to hear and see it.
What to do in each emergency
Specific steps for before, during and after, with figures from health and civil protection authorities. They work offline: read them now, because in the emergency you'll be in a hurry.
Drinking water
Without safe water, dehydration and diarrhea set in within days. This is how to store it and how to make it safe.
